THE CONCEPT


As I sit wandering and browsing the infinite universe of the internet looking for ideas for this years' haunt I found some easy to follow DIY instructions for animated skeletons. Being how I just adore The Nightmare Before Christmas I have decided to go with that theme and create some animatronic characters to sing and move in my Halloween / Christmas animated light show. My goal is to create several of the characters in life size scale along with a few of the movie props as well. This blog will be a documentation of this journey to reality.

Ordered VSA

So, I sold a couple of DC motors on ebay that were traded to me.  I can't really use them because they require very expensive drivers as they are meant for industrial robotics.  Any who I was able to buy the VSA software today as well as all the goodies to make the audio servo driver.   Also, I went to the Depot today and bought a bunch of pvc to start making the armatures.  VSA said it takes up to 3 days to get the download data so in the mean time I will work on finishing the treasure chest and starting the Jack armature.
